Abstract

In this paper we studied the behavior of radial photons from the point of view of the coordinate time in (asymptotically) Lifshitz space-times, and we found a generalization to the result reported in previous works by Cruz et. al. [Eur. Phys. J. C {\bf 73}, 7 (2013)], Olivares et. al. [Astrophys. Space Sci. {\bf 347}, 83-89 (2013)], and Olivares et. al. [arXiv: 1306.5285]. We demonstrate that all asymptotically Lifshitz space-times characterized by a lapse funcion f(r)f(r) which tends to one when rr\rightarrow \infty, present the same behavior, in the sense that an external observer will see that photons arrive at spatial infinity in a finite coordinate time. Also, we show that radial photons in the proper system cannot determine the presence of the black hole in the region r+<r<r_+<r<\infty, because the proper time results to be independent of the lapse function f(r)f(r).
